tnx for dropping by, people. I hope I’m not giving you an impression that I am pro-Saddam or something. I hate Saddam as much as you do, but I also hate the US’s engaging Iraq in an illegal, immoral and unjust war that has so for killed aound three hundred mostly women and children civilians,

I remember having read something about the Iraq war and “regime change” in Ave Perez Jacob’s column in Pinoy Weekly. The questions he asked was very incisive: If all the US wants is to oust Saddam and install a “democracy”, why go to the extent of waging this war? Why not just resort to assasination, which the CIA could very well carry out as proven by history (remember Patrice Lumumba)?

Obviuosly there is something more to this war that goes beyond the pro-“democracy” rhetoric of the US. History shows that the US has always resorted to war as a means of jacking up the economy, war being its primary means of livelihood.
